channels of TV and radio stations recently. On August 2,

China shuts
down over 100 websites for copyright violation
Channel NewsAsia,Aug. 22, 2006 - China has shut down more than 100
websites for copyright violations since a new regulation came into
effect in July, state media said Monday. The websites included those
that provided free downloads of movies and music, the Xinhua news
agency said. The government passed the regulation in a bid to ban the
uploading and downloading of Internet material without permission of
the copyright-holder, Xinhua said. Under the regulation, anyone
uploading texts, performances, sound and video recordings to the
Internet for downloading, or copying, must have permission from
copyright owners and pay the required fee. "Since the regulation took
effect on July 1, the administration has enhanced supervision and
punishment of online copyright violation," Liu Jie, deputy director of
the copyright department with China's National Copyright
Administration, was quoted as saying. The number of websites offering
such illegal downloading will continue to decrease as authorities
continue the crackdown, Liu said. Details of the closed websites were
not given but some of the cases are being considered for criminal
prosecution, Xinhua said.
